<p>Hey guys, I am wondering:</p>
<p>I am in 8th semester at a prestigious university. Almost graduating. if I dont’ graduate and appply to rice as a transfer, i wouldn’t get it right? b/c ad coms would be very suspicious as to why I would do that?</p>
<p>theinsideroute- you should do it</p>
<p>You will need to spend a minimum of 4 semesters at Rice after transferring. Why would you do this with one semester to go???</p>
<p>I submitted my application at the end of February, but I still haven’t gotten my ESTHER account. I emailed admissions on Friday to notify them, but I haven’t gotten a reply. It’s really worrying me. Has anyone else had this problem? I’m not sure if they were even the right people to email… I just want to make sure everything got there okay (even though it’s too late to fix it).</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten mine either, but I submitted mine in March. If you’re really worried, I would just call Rice admissions about it. They are usually fairly good about responding to emails in a prompt manner, though. They will probably email you back in a day or two.</p>
<p>I submitted my entire application on March 7th and received my Esther account on the 16th.</p>
<p>I finally got an email back from Rice and I have my Esther account. I think the problem was that since I’ve applied before, I already had an account. When I logged on, it said the last time I had logged on was last year. 
I could have saved myself a lot of worry if I had just gone through my old information and found my ID myself. Oh well…</p>
<p>Thanks for reposting krs! I would’ve been waiting forever as I applied to Rice last year as well. Hope that settles a lot of your worries. Best of luck to you and everyone else. :)</p>
<p>No problem. Good luck to everyone! :)</p>
<p>Hey all, I hope this thread isn’t still closed and I could get some input. I’m currently a Freshman at the United States Military Academy, West Point, and I also applied to transfer to Rice for the Fall 2011 semester. I’ve been here the whole year and have given this school a pretty good chance but I just don’t think it’s for me.</p>
<p>Here are some stats from college:
-3.8 cumulative GPA with 18 credits taken
-Ranked 34th (takes in to account academic, physical, and military grades) overall out of 1,250.
-Investment Club, Domestic Affairs forum, A.L.L.I.E.S.
-I was on the Army snowboard team and taught the children of military families how to snowboard twice a week during the winter.
-My instructors wrote some great recommendations.</p>
<p>High School:
-Valedictorian (4.8 cumulative weighted)
-Varsity Baseball 3 years
-ACT-29
-SAT-1870. Yeah I know that’s pretty low but I only took it once because I was already “accepted” at West Point.</p>
<p>I’m really just looking for any input I can get because I’m hoping to have a different college experience than what I’m getting thus far, hopefully one at Rice!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone, I hope we’re able to all meet each other next year</p>
<p>Your stats are good and put you in range to get in. Your GPA is good as is your rank.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Do you guys think we’ll really have to wait until May 15 to find out?</p>
<p>Knowing rice, yes. Lol good luck</p>
<p>@narwhals: No you don’t. I got my decision on April 23 or 24 last year and i had a month extension on my application being late. They’ve been sending their decisions around that time i think. Good luck.</p>
<p>According to last year’s fall transfer thread, everyone got an email about their decision on April 27th. That is just 15 days away!</p>
<p>The wait is killing me…I hope we find out next week. I’m getting pushed back with all my other colleges asking for commitments!!</p>
<p>The wait is killing me too! Rice is definitely my number one school! Apparently we’re supposed to receive an e-mail followed by a folder in the mail a few days later if accepted.</p>
<p>Hmm are u applying as a junior or sophomore?</p>
